<p>hey, i have a couple of questions.</p>

<p>first, i know this is really random, but does dartmouth allow microwaves in dorm rooms?</p>

<p>second, was i supposed to receive a confirmation email/letter of some sort after letting them know i was definitely going there?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>Oh, and I received this confirmation email last week:

<p>Each dorm has a kitchen equipped with a stove, fridge, microwave, oven, etc. My dorm also happens to have a toaster. Some of the freshmen dorms even have kitchens on each floor.</p>

<p>However, nobody does random room searches looking for toasters and microwaves. As long as you keep your small appliances hidden away somewhere (like under your bed), there won't be any consequences. I even heard of one girl who had a bread machine in her room.</p>

<p>^In that case, I'm bringing my electric kettle. (I drink a lot of tea.) :D</p>

<p>You RD people are receiving a lot more nicey-nice than the ED people. The ED people didn't even get invited to Dimensions, nor did they receive that e-mail.</p>

<p>aww. that's sad... i got one of those too! i was stoked. i guess it was just like the final confirmation. but i'm totally sure that by the fall, both EDs and RDs will be pretty much indistinguishable lol :D</p>

<p>EDs did receive a letter from the First Year Office (before Mar30) mentioning that more information will be coming their way in June.
Also received a postcard from a current Dartmouth student(attached to the FYO) .</p>

<p>Yeah, but I want more LOVE!!</p>

<p>LOVE (in the form of written communication) might seem really really sparse in the early summer months, especially in comparison to friends who start college at least a month earlier. But... hang in there because eventually that kind of LOVE comes raining down.</p>

<p>Don't we all! lol But at least the EDs know they are "hog tied". So not hearing from Dartmouth does not make them panic like the RDs. Some RDs sent back the acceptance card and worry that Dartmouth did not receive it because they do not hear back or receive any confirmation from Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Also a number of the RDs worry that they may not actually have a spot "locked-in" in Dartmouth because they do not remember sending any deposit .(Dartmouth does not require any deposit in case anyone reading does not know)</p>

12

<p>Yeah, no one will ever know/care about what you have in your room. If you really want a microwave, bring one.</p>

13

<p>Thanks for all of your replies! I never got the confirmation e-mail, but when I called the admissions office they said that I was signed up to go. Weird. Anyway, I'm so excited!!!</p>

14

<p>so afterall you are getting some love tuck6389? :D</p>

15

<p>haha not exactly, but at least they have me on their list!</p>

16

<p>so they are ready to love you when you go there? :D :p</p>
